Well, I think it should be posted on AITA on reddit.
So I have this friend, we used to hangout together at a pub, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. We played Nägeln, Darts, or Chess. One time I was there alone, no one of the people I used to hangout with were there, so I played some cash game on my phone. When he came we exchanged greetings then he asked if I'm up to play a home game against him and his friends, I agreed. Then came one of the bridge days, weekens + May 1st a holiday, we started playing on Sunday afternoon. We had to ship in for snacks and drinks, the problem is that we played until Monday at 10 a.m. I finished with almost 3000 €, the "friend" by whom I was invited walked me down to take some breakfast, I paid for mine, he demanded thst I must pay for his, because I won around 3k, I was bewildered, I told him that I didnt invite him for breakfast, as a matter of fact I took a double espresso and a croissant. And that if he didnt have money to pay for his meal, i will gladly lend him money, he was upset. I was going to pay for his breakfast anyways, but when he started demanding it, I decided against it.
You can draw your conclusions, but many times when he won at Nägeln or Darts I bought him Laphroaig 4cl which costs 10 euros, but when I won he bought me a freaking Pfeffie, a peppermint drink that costs 2.5 €. At best case scenario it was a cheap a*& vodka for 4 €. I didnt care at thr time, never told him that, but i noticed it

I can’t give an example of a specific story related to poker that changed my life, but poker itself in general has changed my life a lot. Thanks to poker, I met very interesting and smart people who are developed in other areas besides poker. I communicated and worked with these people for two and a half years, and during this time I learned a lot from them. Now I continue to communicate and maintain friendly relations with them. And of course, I developed many personal qualities in myself thanks to poker.

Poker has indeed had a significant impact on my life. It's not just a card game; it's a skill, a mindset, and a community. Playing poker has taught me about strategic thinking, risk management, and reading people. It has also allowed me to connect with a diverse group of individuals who share a passion for the game. While it's had its ups and downs, overall, poker has enriched my life with valuable experiences and lessons.

Of course poker changed my life; this game is very exciting and takes a lot of time. But I don't spare the time spent because I'm sure that perseverance and hard work will help you reach the top of poker, maybe not today or now, but one day it will definitely work out.

Poker didn´t change my life and that´s a good thing.
In my life I have always been addicted to certain activities.
Hahaha you might think, but seriously - activities. My first addiction was probably playing soccer, the next was Diablo 1 and other pc games. Then it was Poker for some time, then something else, then running up to ultra marathon and biking or fishing.
For some time it´s poker now, the "thing" I invest all my spare time into, seeking for more.
And i love it just like all the other things before.
